tty: enable the echoing of ^C in the N_TTY discipline
Turn on INTR/QUIT/SUSP echoing in the N_TTY line discipline (e.g. ctrl-C
will appear as "^C" if stty echoctl is set and ctrl-C is set as INTR).
Linux seems to be the only unix-like OS (recently I've verified this on
Solaris, BSD, and Mac OS X) that does *not* behave this way, and I really
miss this as a good visual confirmation of the interrupt of a program in
the console or xterm. I remember this fondly from many Unixs I've used
over the years as well. Bringing this to Linux also seems like a good way
to make it yet more compliant with standard unix-like behavior.
